Expert Knowledge

In our pursuit of the Northern Lights, weather is key. Throughout winter, we’re on the chase for optimal conditions, while in summer, our focus shifts to the perfect paragliding weather. Each year, we integrate meteorology into our paragliding courses, sharing our deep understanding of Icelandic weather patterns. As local sky enthusiasts, our private, personalized tours aim to immerse you not just in the sights but also in our passion for the skies of Iceland.

Our mission is to find the perfect Northern Lights Experience for YOU and we don’t give up easily! We stay away from the crowds and we stay small and flexible. We also try to be friendly and fun! Our vehicles are installed with additional diesel heaters to stay warm on location.

We take photos of you under the lights, edit them and share with you the Raw images for free, and share them with you the next day. We can also help you set up your own camera. Check out our settings guide here to prepare your camera during daylight hours before the tour.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and displays can never be guaranteed. For a sighting we need three things to come together: solar wind, darkness and a clear sky. Overall, on any given night during dark hours in Iceland, our chances are about 50%. We maximise our sighting chance by going out only when auroral activity and cloud cover forecasts are favourable. Our sighting rate is 90%. We reserve the right to cancel the tour as late as 6.30 pm due to weather not being favourable. We make honest, transparent decisions and e-mail all our guests at 6.30 pm latest to confirm whether the tour is on or off.
